Define a message and apply it with strength to brand image and use it as a platform to drive interest.
Develop a press kit, creating a creative and compelling presentation.
Host a media party, sending out original ‘hidden treasure’ invitation, and inviting the media to captain their own boat on Lake Union.
Disseminate relevant press releases.
Partner with a local catering company to provide fully hosted boats.
Wrote and pitched the introduction story of Duffy Electric Boats entering the Seattle market.
